SYMPTOMS
When you use the Eraser tool to merge cells in a table, the borders separating the cells are removed and some or all of the text within the cells is deleted. If you drag the Eraser across the first two rows of the table, the cell partitions in rows 1 and 2 are removed and the contents of the first row are deleted. You may see something similar to this: If you drag the Eraser across the rows inside a column of the table (for example, column 1), the contents of the column may be deleted and your table may look similar to this: If you drag the Eraser across any range of cells inside the table, both the partitions and text may be deleted. WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem and merge the cells or rows of your table, do one of the following: Method 1: Use the Eraser ToolEraser one table border at a time. To do this, click the Eraser tool on the Tables and Borders toolbar (on the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Tables and Borders) and then click one of the borders of the table.After you click and release the mouse, the table border will be erased. Continue this procedure until each border of the table you want is erased. Method 2: Use the Merge Cells Feature
